Bath TIME--YIKES!?!?!

Well we all know that Mami fell and broke her elbow. She is supposed to be having surgery today, all Dad said was that they would put in some pins/screws so she wouldn't have to wear a cast. But anyways they are benefits to being the only granddaughter and they are also some disadvantages too. I say being the only granddaughter because growing up, Tina and Aunt Magaret never came around and vice versa. So I don't know much on Tina's growing up. Until recently is just when we have started seeing each other. And having a baby close in age brings us closer. But growing up I was a Daddy's girl and a Paw-Paw's girl. Loved my Paw Paw to death, I wish ever day that he could have met Aydan. I know he would have loved him very much. Anykawho, disadvantages, having to give your grandmother a bath! I love her but never thought that this day would come. Mami fell two days ago, on Wednesday. So Wednesday evening I offered to put on her pajamas. You know how old people really don't care to take a bath everyday, why? Sometimes they just need a good dunkin in the tub. Well, Scott makes mention that I could give her a bath why we are trying to put clothes on :) I just smiled really big and gave him the dirties look. Because in reality you love her but you really don't want to do it. Well guess what, I have done it two times, feet too. Neither time did she put on her pajamas, she just wore what she was going to be wearing the next day because she didn't want to change twice and I don't think that she wanted anyone else to help her. But the job is done, hopefully just a few more times and I will be okay....
Well, I have almost lived through another 'End of Month" time at Saft. I still love my job, honestly, I feel like it could be used as a tool from the Devil when it comes time to stay at home with Aydan. Yes that is still my goal, and I tell him in the mornings that one morning will come to where he doesn't have to get out of bed and go to someone else house. But it makes me feel really good when I go to take him to Mom's house that he automatically goes to her. Guess he knows that he is going to get a bottle and that he will get to go back to sleep. But I like it. I am going to try maybe this weekend working with him about drinking milk from a sippee cup. He has done it once before during supper, but doesn't want it to go to bed. Which I find very funny because he drinks his bottle, waits until I am in the bed to snuggle, (BTW, he doesn't like snuggling with Daddy, yes I am aware that I might be a little more puffier that Daddy, but it still makes me feel good) so hopefully things will be okay. That way we can pack up the bottles until next year...lordwilling...depends on Mariano's immigration. You might think I am funny but Mariano and I both prayed that God would give us direction on when to start a family and I believe that he did and that is why Aydan is here. So we are going to wait again until we get that direction. Don't you just love being a Christian knowing that everything is going to BE ALRIGHT.
I remembered one thing, you might here it again on Sunday, but I was driving to work today listening to 88.1 JOY FM. And they started singing YOU CAN'T ASK TOO MUCH OF MY GOD. I felt like Bro. Clark, just started crying and rejoicing, I was ready to pull over and do a Holy dance. I love those moments, like you get a divine Revelation from God himself. But that song is so so true. Think back in the OT when they didn't have the Holy Spirit to bare witness that God was going to move. We are so blessed....

Prince Charming

I read TV's blog, don't know what day it fell on. But I just couldn't help but realize how true it was. Mariano who I will refer to as 'M' simply because it is less typing, was such a romantic when we were dating, and while we lived together. For instance, when I worked at Winn-Dixie, he would always call and see what I wanted to eat for supper and what time I would be taking my break. He would always bring me supper or whatever I wanted and spend time together on my break, 30 minutes. I do good to get a good quality coversation for 10 minutes. Even before Aydan was born. Never cared for flowers, actually despise them. Get me something that I can hold on to for a year or two...i.e. clothes!?!?! I still by just about the same amount of clothes as I did before in the apartment. Just because I still work otherwise I might get on at Easter and at Christmas. M used to give me cards like every week, they actually started getting on my nerves because I knew to expect them all the time. For Valentines we gave each other "Happy Valentines Baby" I think that is hilarious. I ended up buying me an outfit which I wore last Sunday. It is my 'cute' outfit. But anyways for the ones who aren't married, romance after 4-5 years of marriage is 'old school,' a think of the past...the once days were you snuggled in bed for an hour, kissed each other have now turned into a pop kiss good night turn over to your side of the bed and see ya in the morning. So as to TV's blog, dating before marriage is all a fairytale on both ends. Eventually the Prince Charming goes back to being a frog and the Princess decked in beauties becomes some southern redneck maid...am I out in left field by myself? M has turned into the frog but he still likes to wear his crown....I STILL LOVE HIM THOUGH!?!?!

Conference Call

Well you know I can talk and talk for hours but sometimes it is hard to think of something to write. Go figure. I do have some very cute pictures of Aydan. I got an idea from Kelly when she let Vi feed himself spaghetti. Mariano doesn't like a mess so he was opposed to the idea. But after he saw what fun Aydan had, he laughed. Aydan literally took a bath in it. I will have to post some pictures tonight. DID I MENTION MY BROTHER MICHAEL GOT SAVED!?!?! I was telling Nao about it in email. I told Mariano I hadn't seen him break down in church like that in a very LONG time. and then he helped put the newsletter together after church. WOW. SUPRISE!?!?! I am so thankful too!?!?!
Also yesterday was our lawyer's conference call. I got off work @ 4 so I could be at home at 4:30. We called in, she was on the phone, paralegal said she would call back around 5. 5:30 no phone call, so I call in, they say that C. Aziz is talking on the phone to a government official and she couldn't get off. C. Aziz would call back later. I missed my chiropractor appointment. Which I felt better yesterday but today has been bad, anyways I'm getting off the subject. So I lay Aydan down for a nap @6 and then I get up @7 still no phone call. So we call in and she had just gotten off the phone. Can you believe it? 3 1/2 hours later, we have our conference cal. Should be free of charge...anyways...she was just touching base with us on the letters. We had some forms that we had to fill out and we were trying to get them filled out, only to find out that we didn't need them at this time. So I have finished my letter but after talking to her they are other points that I can put in. My mom's illness that she has is a point that I can make. Even though she is capable of watching Aydan. About the Police Clearance check, she wasn't very familiar with this form. So we are going to have to pay someone to go into Guatemala City to get this form for Mariano. His dad isn't able to make the trip, I hoping that his brother in law will go instead. So hopefully we can obtain this form. Well I need to head back off to work. I will try posting pictures later. I am not for sure on how to do it, but I need to learn...

Traveling

Didn't know that it had been two whole months since my last blog. But I haven't been coming to the library like I was during my lunch break. So I hope to start back up. Sometimes it just feels good to go and take a nap out in my car. I am not the only one that does this during lunch. I am feeling much better now, Aydan still has diarrhea everyother day. It is still that yucky pukey orange color. Have no idea why? Yesterday I went to Amanda's for lunch because she still keeps Aydan one day a week, so I go on my lunch break, but he has just woken up from his nap and had diarrhea all over him. I cleaned him up, accidentally got some on my pointer finger, so I showed Carter and he was so shocked that I had it on my finger, I wish I had it on camera!
Nao says she might come in sometime around September, I am so excited!!! So we will plan a little something when she comes in, that is if you guys want to.
Work is good, they are wanting me to go to a Seminar in April. It is in Raleigh, Tuesday & Wednesday. I have tried getting out of it but since I have no experience in Purchasing my boss says that it would be good. Expenses are paid but I can't stand the thoughts of leaving Aydan. I have asked Mom and Dad if they want to go just to get away. Not for sure if there is alot to do down there anyways. They said that they would think about it. Mariano doesn't want to go because he would have to take two days vacation and then it is in the middle of the week. So please keep that in your prayers. When I took the job I said I didn't want to travel anywhere, but I did agree to these classes. This is the first year they are held in Raleigh, they usually hav been held in Charlotte on a Saturday. So I do kind of feel obiligated to go since I said that I would in the first place. Now if I didn't have Aydan, I love ya Mariano, but I would go in a heart beat. Traveling for the company is all NEW me, kind of exciting.
